A WINTER ALBUM is online

A WINTER ALBUM of small pieces for piano is now online here. It includes works by Dennis Báthory-Kitsz, Jon Brenner, Steed Cowart, Elaine Fine, Hauke Harder, Ben.Harper, Jeff Harrington, Aaron Hynds, Lloyd Rodgers, Jonathan Segel, and Charles Shere. A few more pieces have been promised and -- thanks to the magic of the internet -- may well still appear in the album.

And it is magic. Thanks for helping to make a feeling of musical community in the dead of winter (and it is cold, windy, and snowing out here in Illinois). I love the textural concept of your parlor piece with mittens, Daniel.

to thomas d. yes the word is "quietly", i might have been a little in a hurry and maybe a little tired when I scrawled it, the chord is B-F# and yes I am aware of the unmeasured prelude tradition and the obvious connections. it would be lovely on a harpsichord.Lloyd Rodgers
